Blood Suckers

By Becky Mosley | Updated 16 July 2026

Most slots dangle a massive max win to keep you spinning. Blood Suckers doesn’t bother. NetEnt‘s vampire-themed video slot, originally released in 2013, takes the opposite approach: a 98% RTP, one of the highest you’ll find anywhere, and lets that do the talking. In a market stuffed with slots skimming 94-95% and hoping you won’t notice, that number is genuinely rare.

The trade-off is a max win of 1,014x your stake and low volatility. You’re not here for life-changing payouts. You’re here because the maths actually respects your bankroll. In our testing, a hit frequency of 44.9% kept things ticking over with reassuring regularity. Whether that appeals depends entirely on what you want from a session.

Quick Facts

Technical Features

Blood Suckers runs on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 25 fixed paylines. The RTP is 98%, though some operators run reduced-RTP variants that can drop as low as 92%, so check before you play. Low volatility means shorter losing streaks and smaller individual wins. We clocked the hit frequency at 44.9%, so roughly every other spin returns something.

The max win caps at 1,014x your stake. Most modern releases sit between 5,000x and 20,000x, so this is modest. Bets range from £0.01 up to £2.00, which is the other headline limitation. If you normally push stakes into double figures, this one won’t accommodate you.

Design and Theme

The setting is gothic horror played slightly tongue-in-cheek. Dark burial chambers, flickering candlelight, and a colour palette somewhere between old Hammer Horror and a haunted house ride at a seaside pier. The animations have a certain charm, particularly during the bonus round where you’re literally staking vampires in coffins, and the eerie sound effects set the mood without becoming grating over a long session.

It looks its age. This is a 2013 slot and it shows, especially if you’ve been playing anything from the last couple of years. But the mobile version runs cleanly, and there’s something to be said for a design that doesn’t try to distract you from the fact you’re playing a low-volatility grinder. It knows what it is.

Symbols and Paytable

The low-value symbols are the vampire-hunting toolkit: holy water, garlic, The Bible, silver crossbows, and wooden stakes. These appear frequently and drive that high hit rate, paying modest amounts that keep your balance from bleeding dry between features.

The Wild substitutes for all regular symbols except the Scatter and Bonus. Landing five across a payline pays up to 300x. The Scatter is the Vampire Bride, paying up to 100x your total bet for five anywhere on the reels and triggering the free spins round. The wooden stake doubles as the Bonus symbol, opening the coffin-picking game when three or more land.

Bonus Features

Two main features, both triggered by scatters, both straightforward enough that you won’t need a manual.

Free Spins

Three or more Vampire Bride scatters award 10 free spins with a 3x multiplier on all wins. A clean, no-frills round. No escalating mechanics, no progressive multipliers, just a flat triple on everything. In our testing, this is where the bigger payouts tend to cluster, particularly if the Wilds cooperate.

Vampire Slaying Bonus

Land three or more Bonus symbols and you’re taken to a burial chamber with 12 coffins. Open a coffin, slay the vampire inside, collect a cash prize. Hit an empty coffin and the round ends. Only 3 of the 12 coffins are empty, so the odds are in your favour early on, and you’ll usually clear several picks before it closes. It’s a pick-and-click mechanic, nothing revolutionary, but satisfying and a genuine contributor to your overall return.

Blood Suckers doesn’t offer a Bonus Buy option, Megaways, or cascading reels. It predates all of that. What you see is what you get, and for a slot built around protecting your bankroll rather than chasing massive spikes, that simplicity works.

How to Play

Where to Play

Blood Suckers is widely available across major UK casino sites and in most NetEnt lobbies. Head to our NetEnt provider page for a full list of slots from the studio, and check Slotfruit’s casino reviews for current welcome offers. One thing to watch: because of the high RTP, some operators exclude Blood Suckers from bonus wagering requirements, so read the terms before assuming you can clear a welcome bonus on it.
